Drew Walendowski is always confident in net, but when his offense scores five goals in the first quarter, it gives him quite the boost. 'We got a great group of guys on offense,' Walendowski said. 'Knowing that we can possess the ball, spin it around and score, it makes you really confident." The sophomore goalkeeper made six saves for host East Islip in a 9-8 non-league win over Smithtown East on Friday night. "Knowing you have a defense that can pressure and take the ball away, it just really makes you confident that you can go through the rest of the game keeping the lead,' Walendowski added.
